Days left till NYC Triathlon: 78
Activity: Core Training at the Gym
I do not like working out indoors. Running on the treadmill, weights, eliptical, stair master etc etc are all things I find thoroughly boring. My prefered workout will always be outside. This fits perfectly with Tri Training as you are always doing different things and they all need to be outdoors. Despite my aversion to the gym, I visit my trainer once a week . I am told that doing weights and making your core strong is essential for an injury free Triathlon. This morning I met Erick (my trainer) at 7 am. We did a lot of twisting, turning, planks and ketel bell exercises. I discovered that my right leg is weaker than my left, which is weird because I am right handed.
He gave me a workout that I should do at least three times a week - details below:
Hip Lift - Single Leg 10 x 3
Hip Lift Double Leg 15 x 3
Hamstring Curl (Heel on Ball while lying down) 25 x 3
Plank with Hitchhikers 30 sec x 2
Hip Rotations 20 x 3
Transverse (rotational) Lunges 10 x 3
Transverse Step Ups 10 x 3
